This may get a lot worse for every non Chinese phone maker, as they get access to cheap subsidized chips from SMIC that are extremely competitive for low end phones.
- Samsung isn't under any sort of pressure. No one is forcing their hand to give updates. Their entry level phones still get 2 years only. Mid level 4 years. Where Samsung loses is price competiveness. Emerging markets are very price conscious. Chinese OEMs offer way better bang for buck than Samsung ever does. Heck, for a random mid level price, a Chinese OEM will give OLED screen, 120 Hz display (which Samsung has only for Flagships) and way faster charging(with an actual charger; and no, I don't believe Samsung gives a darn about the environment by not bundling chargers, they only do so so they can sell their massively overpriced chargers).
- I don't think SMIC refuses to sell to non-Chinese companies. Nokia mostly uses Unisoc chips, which are made in China (not sure if by SMIC).
  But if they did, it would be a pretty serious problem, since I don't think SMIC even has a viable competitor in the entry-level smartphone chip market.

Apple's market-share in China collapsed recently because they can't compete.
- That lack of competing isn't because of price tho. The CCP has effectively convinced the population that Apple (US phones) are bad/untrustworthy, much like the US government has done regarding Huawei. There was a time when Apple had a decent (not great) marketshare in China.
  
  Apple's collapse in China is the direct consequence of America's anti-China policy. Why would the Chinese buy phones from a country that keeps attacking them with sanctions?
